You remembered!
Apparently he has remembered too. I haven't seen him in anything but jeans since that day. Maybe he's having the rest of his wardrobe checked out by an experienced tailor.
The second time it happened, it must have convinced him that there was a problem.
He really is very fastidious about his appearance.
:)
In the early days of therapy, before I was comfortable enough to say anything, he once saw something on his she that offended him, rubbed it off with his thumb, licked his thumb, and rubbed again.
Years later for some reason it was in context for me to mention the incident and tell him that it had seemed odd to me that what was too dirty to leave on his shoe was fine to put in his mouth. He laughed so hard, and it became one of my favorite moments of connection.
Maybe this will too. Someday.
